The Tokyo 2020 organizing committee is working to “simplify” the postponed Olympics for “efficiency” and athlete safety, Japanese Olympic Committee chairman Yasuhiro Yamashita said.
The Games are slated to start on July 23, 2021, but there is still growing concern about holding the Olympics next year given the rising cases of COVID-19 around the world. If it is canceled outright at any point, it may be due to the “Olympic Curse.”
